No

It’s a mean thing to say


You hate people


I don’t know why you hate the world


But you do


At least you are not a trumper

You never read Sartre. He did not believe in nothingness.

In particular, Sartre and authors such as Albert Camus explored the more refined (and more macabrely apathetic) concept of existential nihilism, which posits that life has no intrinsic meaning or value—or, as Sartre put it, “existence precedes essence.”

Sartre put forth several arguments in phenomenology, properly pointing out some fallacies people were making in that branch of philosophy. He also made a few errors in logic when attempting to justify atheism. revealing that he believed in the Church of No God in doing so. He supported Karl Marx.

I can see why you like Sartre.
